I found this movie to be too odd to be very good. The thought behind the whole movie was very unique but because of so many weird things it just made the movie not as good as it could have been.
The first thing I didn’t like was that …

This movie was overall alright. I enjoyed watching some parts of the movie. Some parts not so much. In some parts it was boring or wasn’t really funny. You could also tell that it was a low budget film. There were a couple of parts that were funny. It’s …

Pursuit of Happiness starring Will Smith is the best movie I had ever seen in terms of potraying the real life situation. The struggle to existence and the survival of the fittest theory has been explained beautifully in the movie. Will smith acts as a ordinary sales person although …

‘The September Issue’ is a feature length, fly-on-the-wall documentary about the making of the September 2007 issue of Vogue Magazine. This would be of interest to anyone wanting to see what the real Anna Wintour is like - editor-in-chief of Vogue - rather than the bitch that Meryl …

Those who like horror films that have a creepy subtlety will absolutely love this film. Yes, it’s a foreign film with subtitles. But that doesn’t make any of the action in this movie less frightening. The story centers on a boy who moves to …

In 1960, Doris Day starred in a mystery thriller called Midnight Lace. It’s definitely more intense and dramatic than what Day was known for traditionally. She handles the work very well; it’s just not my kind of movie. Day, in fact, was nominated for Best Actress …

Starring: Jennifer Carpenter (Angela Vidal), Steve Harris (Scott Percival), Jay Hernandez (Jake), Jonathan Schaeh (George Flectcher)
It was believed to be good, a first person story seen through the lenses of a camera; it proved otherwise. Remakes, as usual, often do not measure up to the …

At a first glance the movie, “How To Train Your Dragon” looks like another dreamworks movie put out there on the market to continue on the franchise of dreamworks. You may be partly correct, but just to let you know as a reviewer, I am personally fond of this …

Oh how I love watching the occasional slasher flick. Sometimes it’s great to just sit back and not have to follow any deep story-lines and just enjoy the show, and when I watched XII the other day I certainly did enjoy the show.
There is a plot of course, …

Although it takes a little while to get going, “Hostel II” was a horrifying and satisfying sequel to the first movie.
The plot is similar: three American college girls are lured to a small Slovakian village by a European woman. She’s beautiful and cultured, and seems trustworthy; but, of course, …

I think Nicole Kidman is the most sensual actress working today. This isn’t just because of her great looks, but because of the way she exudes her emotions. So when I had the opportunity to watch “Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus” with Kidman playing the famed photographer, …

The movie ‘Million Dollar Baby’ is really a million worth movie. The story of the movie was narrated mainly around a lady who struggles a lot to become Boxing champion and the problems she faced after becoming the champion.
The central idea of the movie …

This is a great family movie and I really recommend it if you don’t know what to watch with your children. The movie is funny but also rather sentimental; it is about parental love, but also about man’s happiness. We saw Larry Daily becoming a night guard at a …

Pedro Almodovar has been called the greatest spanish director since Luis Buñuel. In my opinion that title would go to Julio Medem, but I still think Almodovar is great and especially this enigmatic film about strange people. As always in the films of Almodovar, he is not afraid to …

I watched this movie a couple of weeks ago and all I can say is its a little less funnier than previous Adam Sandler movies. Yes it has its funny moments but there are also a lot of boring and corny parts. The main story is about …

I really like the little girl who plays Maya (Abigail Breslin). She is a hoot in the movie and just a very good actress. She puts emotion into the …

Election with Matthew Broderick, Reese Witherspoon, and Chris Klein.
This movie had some really hot hooks that kept me in rapt attention. It was a strange type of comedy in that it was subtle, yet effective. I especially enjoyed the cast and could feel the …

Initially I thought that Daniel Craig would not be a good James Bond. I thought he was not worthy of the 007 title. I am Bond purist. At first glance, I thought that he did not fit the style. Plus, he seemed like he had too much softness about …

“To Kill a Mockingbird” is an excellent movie based on the Pulitzer Prizewinning novel by Harper Lee. Screenplay is by Horton Foote. Like all good movies it can be viewed on various levels, but I tend to think of it as a childhood memoir. The movie is told from …

Quentin Tarantino is an unnatural director making movies with distinctively entertaining and yet thoughtful direction with unique presentation of a one of a kind story. I discover the very best of this style of his, not that there is anything bad in it, in Pulp Fiction.
Jules …

A film set during World War II, focused on a band of soldiers and their struggle for survival. It begins very good with a strong sense of realism and despair, but then it is so evident that this film was intended for television, and the low budget is so …

If nothing else, this remake of the 1988 musical is worth watching for John Travolta playing the main character’s mother - yes, *mother*. She is fat, and she dances. Travolta is unrecognizable under layers of latex and a fat suit, when I first saw a photo of him in …

The trailer for November Man didn’t make it come off as something that I would want to see in the theatres. For some reason, it just felt as if the movie wouldn’t be very good. However, when I watched it, even though I didn’t think it was great, it was …

Well, I think her friend has a weird taste in movies because I definitely disagree with …

Synopsis: A young mouse and his rat friend swear an oath to help a princess.

Most of all, I like movies about how a business is created. That’s why I watched the movie The Founder with great interest. It seems that everyone knows the story of the great McDonald’s. Who Ray Kroc is and what year he met the McDonald brothers. Suddenly, it’s only a …

Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson aren’t really big Hollywood stars that’s why when a friend asked me to go to the movies with her and watch How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, I wasn’t really very excited. I don’t like Matthew that much (his blond looks isn’t …

When the movie Wall-E first came out, i figured it was going to be just like any other over-hyped animated movie. So, I didn’t bother watching it until very recently. As it turns out, the movie is actually one of the best movies I’ve ever seen.
The film, which is …

I was very excited to see the Adjustment Bureau. I am usually a fan of Matt Damon’s work because he is a very solid actor and has done movies that I have enjoyed in the past. Emily Blunt, although a much newer addition the Hollywood scene has also proven …
